| THE PENGUIN HOSPITAL |
THE VET | |
| The penguin hospital is a small den of about twelve square meters, with a netting fence around just the same as the fence around the colony. It has three nesting boxes which each hold two penguins. Penguins that have come back from sea with injuries are immediately examined then put in the hospital before travelling down to the vet clinic if necessary for stitches or any other needs. |
The local vet, Mr Laming plays a very important role in the penguin hospital and colony. When there is an injured penguin he will stitch the penguin up before returning it to the penguin hospital until he is well enough to return to sea. |
